12:03 pm - I just don't belong here....
I used to have a script that would dual post everything both here and at my other blog, but it doesn't work anymore. For a little while I hand copied stuff I posted there over here, but lately I've stopped posting here. I've been doing some work on my other blog, making it purtier and adding some new shit. So if you feel like checking in on me, you'll have to do it there.

"The current ‘net meme seems to be to google for ”Your name needs” and then select either the top few, or the best few to share with your blog readers."
Jim needs to ask better questions.
Jim needs to use his resume to answer the ONLY question the hiring manager wants to know
JimNeedsAKidney.com
Jim needs a job and they need Jim
Jim needs to be assessed as to his health and ability to take care of himself
Jim needs to find open mikes everywhere including sometimes at laundromats.
Jim needs to lose some weight.
and my personal favorite:
Jim needs to go back to taking all his meds and living his life of being alone because I have no idea how anyone could ever A- be his friend, B- Fall in love with a psychotic unstable and flaming personality C- Is over the top in not a entertaining or exciting way!

02:03 pm - 83% Satanism, baby!
 | You scored as agnosticism. You are an agnostic. Though it is generally taken that agnostics neither believe nor disbelieve in God, it is possible to be a theist or atheist in addition to an agnostic. Agnostics don't believe it is possible to prove the existence of God (nor lack thereof).
Agnosticism is a philosophy that God's existence cannot be proven. Some say it is possible to be agnostic and follow a religion; however, one cannot be a devout believer if he or she does not truly believe.
agnosticism | | 92% | Satanism | | 83% | atheism | | 79% | Buddhism | | 75% | Paganism | | 54% | Judaism | | 46% | Islam | | 42% | Christianity | | 33% | Hinduism | | 29% |

05:56 pm - What, me haughty?
Haughty Intellectual
You are 100% Rational, 0% Extroverted, 42% Brutal, and 71% Arrogant. | You are the Haughty Intellectual. You are a very rational person, emphasizing logic over emotion, and you are also rather arrogant and self-aggrandizing. You probably think of yourself as an intellectual, and you would like everyone to know it. Not only that, but you also tend to look down on others, thinking yourself better than them. You could possibly have an unhealthy obsession with yourself as well, thus causing everyone to hate you for being such an elitist twat. On top of all that, you are also introverted and gentle. This means that you are just a quiet thinker who wants fame and recognition, in all likelihood. Rather lacking in emotion, introspective, gentle, and arrogant, you are most certainly a Haughty Intellectual! And, most likely, you will never achieve the recognition or fame you so desire! Sweet!
To put it less negatively:
1. You are more RATIONAL than intuitive.
2. You are more INTROVERTED than extroverted.
3. You are more GENTLE than brutal.
4. You are more ARROGANT than humble.
Compatibility:
Your exact opposite is the Schoolyard Bully. (Bullies like to beat up nerds, after all.)
Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Braggart, the Hand-Raiser, and the Robot.
*
*
If you scored near fifty percent for a certain trait (42%-58%), you could very well go either way. For example, someone with 42% Extroversion is slightly leaning towards being an introvert, but is close enough to being an extrovert to be classified that way as well. Below is a list of the other personality types so that you can determine which other possible categories you may fill if you scored near fifty percent for certain traits.
The other personality types:
The Emo Kid: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Starving Artist: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Bitch-Slap: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.
The Brute: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.
The Hippie: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Televangelist: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Schoolyard Bully: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble.
The Class Clown: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant.
The Robot: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Haughty Intellectual: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Spiteful Loner: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.
The Sociopath: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.
The Hand-Raiser: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Braggart: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Capitalist Pig: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble.
The Smartass: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant. |  |
My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: | You scored higher than 89% on Rationality | | You scored higher than 0% on Extroversion | | You scored higher than 47% on Brutality | | You scored higher than 81% on Arrogance |

04:02 pm - Labors, fruits, and fruity laborers
I've been good lately. I cut way back on my drinking, I've been to the gym six days per week for the last three weeks. Those are the labors. The fruits are the 13 pounds I've lost during that time. Yay!
Perhaps rewarding myself with food is not really appropriate, but that's what I've decided to do. I bought myself a nice New York strip steak, a very nice piece of peach-habanero marinated salmon and a slice of peach pie. I've eaten the salmon, steak and some vegetables, now i'm sitting down with the slice of pie and a glass of wine. MMM....View this post on my blog

01:45 am - Shooting Stars
The company where I work sends out a monthly email with a bunch of "news" about what's going on at a higher level than where we mere peons work. It's an attempt by our corporate overlords to try to make us cogs feel "included". One of the features of this email is something they call Shooting Stars. These are people at my level who have done things which have been noticed by those higher in the food chain. I've never been a shooting star myself. Frankly, I don't put all that much effort into work most of the time.
One thing that has always annoyed/intrigued me about the term shooting star is that it implies a brief brightness followed by burning out. I'd always thought that something like "rising star" would be a far more positive image. In many ways, though, shooting star is an image probably much closer to reality than rising star. In order to be recognized as a shooting star, hard work at a very high level on important projects is required. Very few people can sustain the type of work required, 70-80 hour weeks, phone calls at all hours, etc. for very long. Most people burn out and leave to work elsewhere. Part of this is because of the current lack of rewards for hard work. The most common "reward" is the beloved promotion without a raise. So you get a new title and usually more responsibility and work, but no commensurate increase in pay. My, that does sound wonderful doesn't it?
But as I was sitting in the bathtub contemplating my navel, for some reason I started thinking about the whole shooting star thing and a slightly more subtle interperetation came to mind. What is a shooting star, really? It's a piece of space debris which has entered the earth's atmosphere and is burning up due to friction. A shooting star is not a star at all and has no internal fire to light up the sky, we only see them because they have come into contact with our little corner of the universe. So on the more metaphorical level, the so-called "Shooting Stars" are not really valuable sources of heat and light but are mere garbage which shine due to contact with the beloved corporation. And only briefly at that. Now that's a pleasant thought.View this post on my blog

This just plain rocks. Old school. A stick figure online roleplaying game. The Kingdom of Loathing. Where else can you play a character such as:
The Accordion Thief
The scourge of mariachis and polka bands, the Accordion Thieves have plied their malign craft since time out of mind. Their Moxie serves them well in both their adventures and their interactions with "the ladies."
and wear such beautiful, distinctive armor as:
Meatloaf Helmet
This is a helmet made out of meatloaf. You feel like a Bat out of Hell when you wear it. You would do anything for this helmet (but you won't do that.)
So go sign up and play and if you happen to see Mr Potatohead online, say hi.View this post on my blog

05:04 am - hmm...
Glancing at my two previous posts, there definitely seems to be a conection there....
One could certainly argure that the Loneliness of last weeks post is caused by the disassociation in this week's. Or vice versa. Most likely, both feelings stem from some deeper cause. Certainly the loneliness and ennui I feel now would be alleviated by some sort of social interaction. But my recent interactions have not been particularly pleasant. More of that sort of interaction would only highlight the loneliness and increase the discontent.
There are days when I think the life of a monk who has taken a vow of silence would be very pleasant.View this post on my blog

04:30 am - The silent treatment
I've had absolutely no desire to socialize lately. Not sure why, exactly, but the thought of it makes me ... umm... I dunno exactly. Not nervous or frightened or anything, just kind of ... hmm... bored, I guress. No, that's not it. It just seems pointless I guess. So I've been avoiding it.
As a little experiment, I decided to see how little I am required to interact with the world. No phone calls today and five words at the video store. Another eight (damn!) at half price books. It's amazing what you can communicate with a nod and a half smile. And it's more amazing how little is required if you are not doing anything out of the ordinary. Had I not had to ask for the location of the new half-price books, I wouldn't have had to speak at all. At the video store, I had a credit on my account and they need to know what to do with it. Again, without that, a nod and smile would probably have sufficed. Perhaps a grunt. Do grunts count as words if they convey meaning?
I'm fairly certain I can cut down on this tomorrow. I was worried because one of the dvds is scratched and I couldn't get it to play on either the dvd player or xbox. But it played just fine on the laptop. Since I'm watching it alone, it doesn't matter too much whether it's on a 12" screen 3 feet in front of me or a 32" screen across the room.
Friday, of course, I'll be required to speak again. Ah, the joys of work. Worse yet, I'm starting at noon now, so I'll have to endure five hours or so of way too many people. My cubicle is right by the door and next to the office manager's cube. He gets a lot of traffic. *sigh* Gotta do what I gotta do, I guess. None of those hermit jobs in the paper pay worth shit.
I've done this little experiment before. When I was living in my apartment on Jollyville, I could get by with just a
weekend. Again, a smile and nod were enough to satisfy people. I remember one weekend I didn't have to speak at all. I basically did my normal weekend stuff, workouts, grocery shopping, etc. and didn't speak at all.
Writing doesn't seem to bother me. I guess because it's not really interactive, at least not if I'm just posting here. I haven't written any email or done any online chatting all week. Not sure how I'd feel about email, but chatting is definitely out.
Apparently I've been feeling this way for a while now. Just checked my cell phone log. Only two outgoing calls in the last 10 days. Both were in direct response to incoming calls. Fortunately, I've done a good job alienating myself lately, so there have been very few of those. Most likely, when I come out of this non-communicative phase I'm in, there won't be anyone left who wants to talk to me.View this post on my blog

02:59 am - I'm lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet
I get my friend when I need one
I need someone to be one
I take anybody I can get
And sometimes I wanna call you
And I feel like a pet
And I'm lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet
I go down to the river
Filled with regret
I go down and I wonder
If there was any reason left
I've just before my lungs could get wet
I'm lonely, but I ain't that lonely yetView this post on my blog

11:33 pm - constant battle between reason and emotion
"Even with this drink in my hand, it don't ease the pain of every dying day"
Everyone (ok, maybe not everyone. Hell, probably not even most people.) should run out and buy this album. Orquesta del Desierto - Dos. It's cool, happy, summery sounding music with some wonderful, slightly melancholy lyrics. Every time I listen to it I like it better than before.
Here's a little snippet from a review that puts it far better than my drunken, melancholy ass can do right now....
"The pervading mood throughout the album, and the lingering tugging you'll feel in your gut when it's over, is a gentle melancholy. There's nothing outright weepy or depressing on Dos; it's more like the feeling of driving at nightfall in late August while listening to Led Zeppelin III and knowing that autumn will soon be upon you. There is sadness, yes, but it's a good, rich and, in a way, reassuring sadness, the sort that allows you to evaluate what's important and what isn't." - Lollipop online - Brian Varney
I listened to this album this evening after berating myself for doing something I knew I should not have done and while thinking thoughts I did not want to think. I was feeling pretty damn low. Despite the somewhat downbeat lyrics, it made me feel a whole lot better.
Today's message is brought to you by the number 9 and the word melancholy.View this post on my blog
